Meat manufacturer makes opening and resealing bacon packaging easier for its consumers

Plumrose Bacon with new zipper web version

Plumrose USA has adopted a new reseable closure for its 24-oz Hearty Country Style Thick-Sliced Bacon packages. The closure made by Zip-Pak has a smaller slider clip, which the packaging supplier says makes the Zip-Pak Slider Advantage easy-to-use for consumers of all ages. The company also reports that this is the first commercial application of the slider.

Plumrose also implemented a company-wide sustainability initiative, assessing its manufacturing operations and packaging solutions for opportunities to reduce energy and material usage. The Slider Advantage requires less plastic to manufacture, both the clip and profile, which enables Plumrose to provide an easy-to-open closure and simultaneously improves the company's eco-profile.
